$QCOM closed Thursday at $151.60, down 2.6% on the first full session after its results. That is below $168.05, the level I published as my buy line. So I am buying. Here is the work, and the numbers I am putting on record before November.
What would make me wrong. Apple's transition running faster than my Base assumes, or Data Center customers not converting at all. Either one and $84.92 stops being a tail. I would rather name those now than explain them in November.

$DG closed Thursday at $115.16 — below $116.15, the level where I become a buyer. Friday it bounced 1.8% to $117.23. I'm still not buying. Here's the work, and the forecast I'm putting on record before the 27 August print.
On record, before 27 August: diluted EPS $1.92, same-store sales +2.55%, gross margin 31.4%. I'll post the grade against the actuals whether it flatters me or not. Same account, same thread.
